If you look at the BM Camaro from 50 feet away you could see there was a helluva lot more than 100k to build...

Yup both the BM camaro and the six shooter are built by Time machines right in my home town.I seen both very personally.IMHO neither car is worth over 100K.I think there was some hanky panky going on with both bids.I agree with all its not fair how much time they spent on the BM car but others not.Very shady!

[/ QUOTE ]

Again...does ANYONE know why the 6-shooter was sold TWICE???

I mentioned to a friend I thought B-J might have to consider getting away from "no reserve" and his answer was "how can they go backwards".

Good answer...what does everyone else think?

I spoke to a lot of nervous sellers in the staging lanes.A lot of cars weren't bringing the money and there were some good buys late.

That was my gut instinct also, once the results are tabulated, it will be interesting to compare this year's dollar amounts to last year's. My guess is that maybe we're hitting a plateau for a while.

That "no reserve clause" is no fun for the seller...

I was laughing, you could hear the panic in Chip Foose's voice when he was saying how this wasn't a Over Haulin car, it wasn't built in a week!!

I thought the same thing Jack...
"its not an overhaulin car... It wasn't built in a week."
Great way to boost ratings... haha!

That was a funny line, but it did sound like panic---Tough selling at no reserve--

Was the 66 360HP Chevelle an original or restored car? Does anyone know the lot #?

Thanks,

Jason

Are you referring to the unrestored low mileage RED one?

THE 66 SS WAS AN UNRESTORED CAR. I WAS BIDDING ON IT UNTIL THE PRICE WENT INTO ORBIT. FEW THINGS UNDER HOOD THAT WERE CHANGED BUT ALL IN ALL AN EXCELLENT CAR. THE WHITE INTERIOR WAS AWESOME... KP
